    The absolute BEST

    WOW WOW WOW is how I would describe Sam Sarkis Photography. If you are looking to have exquisite photos taken and want to turn your special day into a reality I HIGHLY recommend Sam. From our very first meeting with Sam, and during the planning process of our wedding, Sam was always so professional and communicative. He really made my husband and I feel calm and knew exactly how our wedding day should run. He truly cares about every detail and ensures that every special moment is captured. You cannot go wrong by hiring Sam Sarkis Photography, truly the BEST of the best.
    Thank you Sam!!

    We chose Sam for our wedding in September 2017. From the initial contact via email to scheduling engagement and wedding photos he was very courteous and up front regarding cost and total hours and what was included in the packages. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. He is definitely the most talented photographer I have ever worked with and his work is truly incomparable with other photographers I was considering. He has a God given talent for photography and is passionate about his work and capturing beautiful photos. He was flexible when working with us as he also accommodated to some above and beyond requests we had to capture some family shots for those international family members. All in all we are so happy and couldn't recommend his services more.

    Sam did an amazing job and beautifully captured every aspect of our wedding day. The quality of his work is impeccable. I would highly recommend Sam to future brides, particularly those who are big on photography. The only thing is he is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for and I found it to be worth every penny.

    Sam is more than a wedding photographer, he is an artist with a true talent and vision for everything he captures. We looked at a lot of photographers and being in the design industry, I was really fussy. The quality of Sam's work was unsurpassable. He is a perfectionist and it shows in every ounce of what he does and how he captures every detail. He did our engagement photos and my now husband and I absolutely fell in love with him and his personality and the way he works. We received hundreds of compliments on our engagement pictures. We also went with Sam Sarkis photography for our videography and absolutely LOVED working with Gus, our videography. His work was top notch quality as well and exactly what we were looking for. When it came time for our wedding, we met with Sam and Gus and went over the details and we really discovered what true first-class professionals they were is when it comes to photography and videography for your wedding day. Sam is EXTREMELY detailed and organized, and Gus was extremely thorough when it came to what we were looking for in our videography. They both were so on top of every detail as well as the schedule and timing of our day to ensure that not one detail or important moment was missed. I could go on and on about Sam and Gus and what a dream they were to work with. I had a very big dress and long train and Sam was so detailed on how my dress laid and photographed. My husband and I just received a preview of some of our wedding photos and we were in tears and in awe by the beauty of everything Sam captured. His work is truly timeless and his shots emulate a radiance that I have not seen in any other wedding photography EVER. Sam is truly a genius and master of the camera lens. Sam Sarkis photography/videography is the best in the business and we could never imagine our wedding day and entire wedding experience without Sam and Gus and their extraordinary ability to capture it all. We can't wait to see our wedding video!!

    The quality of his work is outstanding! It unbelievable how elegant, natural and beautiful he can make each photo. He is able to showcase each person in the photo and capture your background in way you could never imagine. He is very professional and responsive! He was very on top of calling me and flexible with creating a timeline to best accomplish all the photos that wanted. He is truly worth every penny!

    Let me start by saying that I truly love all my photos and I would definitely recommend Sam to my friends. There are pros and cons to every photographer, and for me, Sam's pros definitely outweigh the cons. I love his unique style, and when I asked him to capture all the little do it yourself details, he really captured EVERYTHING. He even spoke with my planner and other vendors to make sure that he got a photo of everything I might think is important. I also love that he puts some of his favorite shots on facebook the day after the wedding! My family and I loved seeing these photos right away. The cons are minor, but might be important to others. First, he has an accent so it's sometimes hard to understand what he's saying. Second, he isn't super fun/funny, and taking lots of pictures can be draining on the bridal party after awhile so make sure you have somebody around to lighten up the mood. My other vendors didn't have a super great rapport with him. For me, in the end this didn't really matter.

    If you like his style, I fully recommend him. If you're looking for more of a modern style with super high quality, and lots of close ups, he's not the guy for you.

    Sam, the owner, is great, friendly, and professional. We loved our pictures and album! However, we had one little minor iccident. The package we picked was for a contracted photographer and when he came to our wedding he brought along his "assistant", no one knew of this and she rode in our limo which was already full and we had to give her a place to sit and eat. So as the night went on guests were noticing this girl standing on the side texting all night. someone asked her who she was and she said she is the daughter of the photographer. So not only did we have to fit her into the limo, feed her, and let her drink from our bar, now she was in the background of our pictures texting. That was very rude and unprofessional.

    Sam did our engagement photos and they turned out amazing. I wish he was the one to do our wedding.

    Sam was great to work with on our wedding day. We have over 700 proofs to choose from for our wedding album. Our engagement pics did not turn out how a lot of the ones on his web-site shows. He does put the "best of the best" on the web, however, my friends and family absolutly love our pics. We chose sam because we did not do a videographer, and we wanted amazing pics. We do have that!!

    Photography is not something you want to skimp on. I had seen Sam's work from my friends and he is a great artist. The only complaint I have is that I prefer "action" shots, and their weren't enough of those. Also, a lot of "serious" poses required of my husband and I, which again I prefer to laugh rather than pose. On the wedding day I just trusted him but wish I would've told him more of what I wanted. He is great and would've probably done whatever I asked. I have my proof's but not my official book yet but there are plenty of pictures to choose from.
